Chapter 310 City Lord, are you trying to start a major war?
Tianshan City.

City Lord's Mansion.

Upon seeing Zhou Wudao walk in, the city lord of Tianshan City and everyone present were visibly taken aback.

As a genius of the Zhou family and the entire Tianshan City, everyone present naturally recognized Zhou Wudao.

But no one expected that Zhou Wudao would suddenly burst into the main hall of the city lord's mansion at this moment.

After realizing what had happened, the Zhou family head immediately looked at Zhou Wudao and scolded him, "Wudao, how can you be so unruly? You barged into the city lord's mansion so recklessly. Get out of here right now!"

The head of the Zhou family reprimanded Zhou Wudao.

After all, this is the main hall of the city lord's mansion, and Zhou Wudao's sudden intrusion was indeed somewhat disruptive.

In particular, everyone present was a prominent figure in Tianshan City. Zhou Wudao, a junior, although known as a genius, was not qualified to speak nonsense in front of so many prominent figures.

The city lord of Tianshan City, who was sitting in the main seat, waved his hand to stop the Zhou family patriarch from speaking.

The city lord of Tianshan City looked at Zhou Wudao and said, "Tell me, do you know who attacked and killed those people we sent to the Great Zhou?"

Zhou Wudao ignored the Zhou family head's reprimand and instead met the gaze of the city lord of Tianshan City and nodded. "That's right. I not only know who attacked and killed those people you sent to Da Zhou, but I also know how the second young master of the city lord's mansion died."

As soon as these words came out.

The city lord of Tianshan City's expression changed immediately.

what?
"Are you telling the truth?"

Do you know the consequences of deceiving this city lord?

The city lord of Tianshan City stared intently at Zhou Wudao; "Zhou Wudao, although you are a genius of the Zhou family, if you dare to deceive me with such a thing, even the Zhou family cannot protect you."

The city lord of Tianshan City warned Zhou Wudao in a stern tone.

Everyone else present looked at Zhou Wudao in astonishment.

None of them expected Zhou Wudao to say something so shocking.

It's important to understand that the matter of the second young master of the City Lord's Mansion is no joke; it's a taboo that the City Lord's Mansion has always considered untouchable.

Anyone who dares to joke about this kind of thing will definitely not have a good outcome.

The head of the Zhou family, in particular, was practically spitting fire as he looked at Zhou Wudao.

The Zhou family patriarch never expected that Zhou Wudao would dare to spout nonsense about the second young master of the city lord's mansion. Wasn't he courting death?
Back when the second young master of the city lord's mansion had his accident, Zhou Wudao was just a little kid. What could a little kid know at that time?
The head of the Zhou family opened his mouth as if to rebuke Zhou Wudao and tell him to stop talking nonsense.

However, upon seeing the imposing expression on the face of the City Lord of Tianshan City, the Zhou family head swallowed back the words he was about to say in reprimand.

At this moment, the Zhou family patriarch knew that it was too late to reprimand or stop Zhou Wudao, as the city lord in the main seat would not allow it.

After all, the City Lord's Mansion had been investigating for so many years, but had not found a single clue about the person behind the attack on the City Lord's Second Young Master.

Now that Zhou Wudao has finally said he has a clue, how could the city lord possibly let him go so easily?

Even if the city lord didn't believe that Zhou Wudao could actually have any clues, he wouldn't let it go easily.

However, the Zhou family patriarch hoped that Zhou Wudao would not talk too much nonsense.

otherwise.

The Zhou family will also suffer.

Facing the piercing gaze of the City Lord of Tianshan City, Zhou Wudao showed no fear whatsoever; "The City Lord should not forget that more than twenty years ago, the Second Young Master of the City Lord's Mansion also entered the mortal world along with others and went to the Great Zhou Dynasty in the secular realm!"

Zhou Wudao's words caused the city lord of Tianshan City to frown slightly.

Under normal circumstances, few people from the City Lord's Mansion would engage in worldly affairs, but more than twenty years ago, the second young master of the City Lord's Mansion did engage in worldly affairs and went to the Great Zhou in the secular world.

Many people know about this.

However, what the city lord of Tianshan City didn't understand was what Zhou Wudao's words had to do with the murder of his second son in the city lord's mansion.
Could it be that the second young master of the city lord's mansion offended someone from the Great Zhou in the mortal world, and was assassinated by someone from the Great Zhou in the mortal world?
Putting aside the fact that the highest level of power in the Great Zhou Dynasty at that time was only half a step into the Celestial Realm.

Even now, after this extraordinary celestial phenomenon, even if the Great Zhou Dynasty possesses the combat power of a Celestial Realm expert, it would still be impossible for them to assassinate the second young master of the City Lord's Mansion.

Not to mention back then.

This is simply a fantasy.

Ignoring the city lord's doubts, Zhou Wudao continued, "More than twenty years ago, the second young master of the city lord's mansion entered the mortal world and fell in love with a woman in the secular world. That woman was the youngest daughter of the Wen family and also the current imperial concubine of the Great Zhou Dynasty, holding a prestigious position in the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"However, the second young master of the city lord's mansion disregarded all of this. Relying on his status as the second young master of the Tianshan City Lord's mansion, he directly threatened the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the secular world. Furthermore, he sent people to attack the Wen family, hoping to force that woman to submit."

"In the end, to save face for the Emperor of Great Zhou, the woman committed suicide in the Golden Palace."

At this point, Zhou Wudao looked at the City Lord of Tianshan City, who was sitting in the main seat; "You must have heard about this matter, City Lord?"

The city lord of Tianshan City frowned, his gaze toward Zhou Wudao darkening.

"That's true. How could someone as important as you possibly remember such a trivial matter?"

"In your eyes, you treat ordinary people like dirt, and even if your own children commit murder and arson, it doesn't matter!"

Zhou Wudao said with a hint of self-deprecation, his tone quite sarcastic.

"shut up."

The head of the Zhou family couldn't help but stand up.

“Zhou Wudao, how dare you spout nonsense in front of the city lord.”

The Zhou family patriarch looked at Zhou Wudao with a gloomy expression.

The Zhou family patriarch never expected that Zhou Wudao would dare to say anything.

Is it okay to say such things here?
And this was all in front of so many prominent figures from Tianshan City.

"What? Did I say something wrong?"

Zhou Wudao ignored the gloomy gaze of the Zhou family head and instead looked at him with a cold smile: "Family head, more than twenty years ago, the worldly members of the Zhou family stood by and watched as a branch of the Great Zhou royal family was humiliated without lifting a finger to stop it. Instead, they aided and abetted the evildoers, helping outsiders to bully their own people. Don't you find that a bit ridiculous?"

"Asshole."

The head of the Zhou family reached out and grabbed Zhou Wudao.

The head of the Zhou family knew that he could no longer let Zhou Wudao continue to spout such nonsense.

If Zhou Wudao continues to spout nonsense, his Zhou family will also suffer.

However, to the surprise of the Zhou family patriarch, Zhou Wudao's strength exceeded his expectations.

"boom……"

The Zhou family patriarch reached out to grab Zhou Wudao's hand, but Zhou Wudao forced him back with a single palm strike.

This scene elicited a hint of surprise from everyone present.

None of the Song family patriarchs present had expected that Zhou Wudao would be able to force the Zhou family patriarch to retreat.

It should be noted that the Zhou family patriarch and they are on the same level of strength. In the entire Tianshan City, apart from the patriarchs of various families, they are the strongest.

The fact that Zhou Wudao was able to force back the Zhou family patriarch means that Zhou Wudao already possesses combat power that is no weaker than theirs, doesn't it?

Even the city lord of Tianshan City, sitting in the main seat, couldn't help but narrow his eyes upon seeing this scene.

The Zhou family patriarch stared intently at Zhou Wudao; "You've been hiding your strength all this time?"

Zhou Jiajia's expression was extremely serious.

To be honest, the Zhou family patriarch really didn't expect that Zhou Wudao's strength would be able to force him, the patriarch, to back down.

Normally, Zhou Wudao would not have shown such strength.

Zhou Wudao did not answer the Zhou family patriarch's question, but instead shrugged. The meaning was self-evident.

The city lord of Tianshan City, who was in the main seat, spoke up at this moment: "I really didn't expect that the Song family had hidden such a genius as you."

"Everyone originally thought you were just an ordinary genius, but now it seems that you have already reached the level of the elders of various families."

At this point, the city lord of Tianshan City looked at the head of the Zhou family.

"Patriarch Zhou, are you putting on a show for this city?"

"What is the Zhou family trying to do?"

The city lord of Tianshan City spoke calmly, but his gaze toward the Zhou family patriarch was slightly cold.

"Lord of the city, I know nothing about Zhou Wudao's actions today."

"The Zhou family patriarch said in a deep voice."

Zhou Wudao's actions just now were no longer a confession, but a mockery of everyone.

Even the Zhou family was among them.

"is it?"

The city lord of Tianshan City gave the Zhou family patriarch a deep look, but didn't care whether what the Zhou family patriarch said was true or false.

Because that's no longer important.

The important thing is that if Zhou Wudao can't give a reasonable explanation today, even the Zhou family will have to give the City Lord's Mansion a reasonable explanation.

"Zhou Wudao, what did you mean by those words just now?"

The city lord of Tianshan City looked at Zhou Wudao calmly, without a trace of emotion in his eyes.

"Hasn't the city lord already understood?"

Why ask a question you already know the answer to?

Zhou Wudao glanced at the City Lord of Tianshan City in the main seat, speaking casually.

He seemed completely unconcerned about his upcoming situation, remaining calm and composed.

The city lord of Tianshan City remained silent for a moment, his eyes flickering.

"Hehe, there have been rumors within the Zhou family that Zhou Wudao came from the secular world."

"At first, I didn't believe it, but now it seems that the rumors are true."

The city lord of Tianshan City sneered and looked at the head of the Zhou family; "Head of the Zhou family, your Zhou family brought back the offspring of that woman from the mortal world more than 20 years ago to Tianshan City. Is this an intention to have him take revenge on my city lord's mansion?"

As the lord of Tianshan, the city lord of Tianshan City is naturally no ordinary person.

Zhou Wudao's words were so clear, how could the city lord of Tianshan City not understand?

Without a doubt, Zhou Wudao is the offspring of the woman who committed suicide by sword more than twenty years ago because she was forced by the second young master of the city lord's mansion.

Upon hearing the words of the City Lord of Tianshan City, the Zhou family head remained expressionless; "The City Lord is joking. My Zhou family has no such intention."

"Shouldn't we, the Zhou family, need to report to the City Lord's Mansion when we bring members of a branch family back to the main family?"

The Zhou family patriarch glanced at the city lord of Tianshan City in the main seat and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

The city lord of Tianshan City, seated at the head of the table, narrowed his eyes slightly. "Then, Patriarch Zhou, what do you think should be done with Zhou Wudao now?"

Without a second thought, the Zhou family patriarch said directly, "Zhou Wudao is a member of the Zhou family. As for how to deal with him, my Zhou family will give the city lord a satisfactory answer."

The Zhou family head's meaning was already quite clear.

That means Zhou Wudao is a member of the Zhou family. Whether to kill or chop him is up to the Zhou family to handle. It's not up to outsiders to interfere in the internal affairs of the Zhou family.

It wasn't that the Zhou family patriarch wanted to protect Zhou Wudao, but rather that, as the head of the family, he understood that he couldn't allow outsiders to deal with Zhou Wudao.

otherwise.

This undermines the prestige of the entire Zhou family.

As a first-class power in Tianshan City, how can the Zhou family maintain its standing if outsiders deal with its members without cause?

How will he, as the head of the Zhou family, lead the other members of the Zhou family in the future?

"So, the people who killed my City Lord's Second Young Master were from your Zhou family?"

The words of the City Lord of Tianshan City caused the Zhou family head's expression to change instantly.

"Lord, this kind of joke is not to be taken lightly."

“My Zhou family did not lay a hand on the Second Young Master. If it were about worldly matters from more than twenty years ago, my Zhou family would have acted back then, instead of waiting until later.”

"That's what the Zhou family head explained."

This is no small matter, and the Zhou family will not take the blame for it.

Besides, this was definitely not something the Zhou family did.

"hehe."

The city lord of Tianshan City sneered and, without saying a word, struck the Zhou family patriarch with a palm.

"puff……"

Before the Zhou family patriarch could react, he was struck away by the city lord of Tianshan City.

He knocked over the chair next to him, crashed into the wall of the hall, and fell down.

"If you say it wasn't your Zhou family who did it, then who did it?"

“Your Zhou family brought back a descendant who has a grudge against my City Lord’s Second Young Master. Now you’re saying it wasn’t your Zhou family who did it. Tell me, should I believe you or not?”

The city lord of Tianshan City looked at the head of the Zhou family with a gloomy expression and an icy face.

The Song family patriarch and the other people from various forces sitting nearby all changed their expressions and immediately stood up.

None of them expected that the city lord would suddenly attack the head of the Song family.

This sudden turn of events made the atmosphere heavy for everyone.

After all, when people at their level take action, it's not just a matter for one person; it affects the entire organization to which they belong.

"Lord of the City, do you intend to incite a major war between my Zhou family and the City Lord's Mansion?"

“I respect you as the city lord of Tianshan City, but don’t push your luck.”

"My Zhou family also has experts at the Life-Seizing Realm who can defy fate."

The Zhou family patriarch wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at the city lord of Tianshan City with a gloomy expression.

As the head of the Zhou family, he was a prominent figure in Tianshan City. To be humiliated like this was unacceptable, even for the city lord of Tianshan City.

The Zhou family patriarch also released the aura of a peak Celestial Realm expert, showing that he was ready to fight at the slightest provocation.

Although the Zhou family is weaker than the City Lord's Mansion, the Zhou family is not afraid of the City Lord's Mansion.

If a major war were to break out, even if the Zhou family were no match for the City Lord's Mansion, the Zhou family could still dethrone the City Lord's Mansion from its position at the top of Tianshan City.

At that time, the City Lord's Mansion will become a meal for the other forces in Tianshan City, and it will be easy for them to divide it up.

The Zhou family patriarch refused to believe that the city lord's mansion would dare to recklessly provoke a major war between the Zhou family and the city lord.
